Banking on the regional draw of outdoor retail giant Cabela's, developers have been planning more than 100 acres of
hotels, a water park, restaurants and other retail space for the southwest corner of Interstate 65 and County Line Road. All
that changes now. The Nebraska-based retailer has put the proposed Greenwood store on hold indefinitely, thanks to a rough
quarter and a bleak economic outlook. “It’s a big blow to Greenwood,� said Mark Perlstein, a partner with locally based
Sitehawk Retail Real Estate. “It takes a huge amount of momentum away from that intersection.� The decision comes on the
heels of local retail closings, followed by more closings. And Perlstein says more could be coming: Pier One plans to close about 100 stores nationwide;
Ann Taylor is looking at closings; and grocery chain Supervalu is closing its Sunflower Market chain, including its store
in Broad Ripple. Read more on Cabela's here

Saw the Indy Men's Chorus "Music of Gilbert & Sullivan" at the Indiana Historical Society on Sunday evening.

Temporary workers are not "tools" they are people and companies that keep large amounts of temp staff are cheating.

I miss having them around. I hope one of their stores is in the general Meridian/86th Street area. I will make good use of it.

The Fringe! Plus, the simple fact that there are so many local faves in such close proximity to each other.

I remenber, watching the toll road, being built, through South Bend, when I was 10 years old. I believe, back then that it was estimated, that the toll road, would be paid for in 20 years and then it would be free. I am now 71, what happened? Since the power is in the people, by that, I mean that, we the people are in total control of everything. I, suggest that no one ever use the toll road again, let it go broke. We the people can control the price of everything, from groceries to gas, if we would just do it. If we don't pay the asking price, the sellers will lower the price and if we wait awhile, they will lower the price to what we accept as reasonable. I would like to know why a highway like interstate 94, is so well maintained, a much better highway, than the toll road, but has no tolls. I would also like to know why, a sitting governor, with a term limit, maximum of eight years, can lease, public property, for 75 years. Even though I have transponders in both of my trucks and will not be affected by the increase, I have been and will contine to avoid using the toll road. I make many trips from northern Indiana to Chicago, every year, and I prefer the better highway, I94!

Yes, these are tough questions, but we live in tough times right now.
With the apparent eductaion/weight quotient at seriously problematic levels in greenwood these days, may i suggest you shut down all buffets, including the Byrd's health food clinic, and make a COMMUNITY effort at living healthier, less kill stuff sports type of existences? Exercise, dieting, and less killing of animals as a sport will help pull you folks out of the 1960s.
That is all.
Please don't use such broad generalizations for a this community. I may not agree with the mentality of some of the people living in Greenwood, but that doesn't mean one should look down on these folks or lump them into a sum category. Greenwood is a decent place to raise a family, and offers a lot of home for the real estate prices.
I rest my case. Or at least my sixpack. :D
Why are you so bitchy? Don't any of the other kids want to play with you? Leave Greenwood alone you putz!
PS
Cabela's sells much more than feeshin gear and kill stuff sports supplies.
You're full of Hooey. You couldn't live too close to anyone with a different life style than yours or your head might implode. Way to go using a black expression (axe) to imply ask along with all of your red neck phrazing. Why don't you just try getting along with those that are different than you; likely 75 - 80% of the population.
What crushes me was only a tiny mention in the write-up: Sunflower's in Broad Ripple is closing. The fact that I can (could) walk to an organic grocery store is one of the few things that makes (made) me have hope for a decent quality of life in Naptown.
I'm hoping another decent grocery - A Trader Joes', even - will move in, but I don't have high hopes.
What a drag.
